I'm in a horrible situation. I just left my boyfriend of 10 months the other day. The day after I dumped him I hung out with this guy, Austin, and my friend, Tarra. I had hung out with Austin earlier in the week at his Fourth of July party and had a lot of fun. Well, on the day we hung out we all went to the movies and he put his arm around me. I know, it was WAY too soon to be doing that expesically since I just got out of a 10 month relationship, but something just felt right about it. -- When my boyfriend and I hit about 7-8 months, we started to have problems. He used to call all the time and text all the time. He used to call to say I love you, but now he rarely ever said it when we got off the phone. It felt like to me he just totally stopped caring. All my friends believed that how he was treating me wasn't right. I do believe I was at the early stages of depression when I was sating him because I'd cry with no reason, and I'd cry all the time. I felt worthless and my boyfriend never knew how I felt. He treated me like I was worthless, he stopped trying to explain his feelings and what was going on in his life to me, but then comes Austin. I met him whenever my boyfriend and I were still dating, so I stayed my distance. He cares. Austin makes me feel needed and he acts like he cares for me, and he lets me know that. [Austin] (9:05:03 PM): i cant stop thinking about you... honestly ive never felt this way before. and im here to help not run away
[Austin] (9:05:11 PM): some guys cant handle that but i atleast want to try.
That's what he said, and our whole coversations seem to be this way. Well, somebody told my boyfriend about the whole arm thing. Austin is anything but a rebound guy. I don't know how to explain it, but my ex boyfriend hates me for what I did. I undersatnd I hurt him, but he doesn't believe he changed at all throughout the relationship and I say if he can't see a simple thing like that then it was time for me to look elsewhere. I feel that it took somebody else to treat me right to understand that I was being treated wrong.
